The core of the course is to create an awareness of the principles of sustainable construction. This is achieved through facilitator-led research of some of the most prominent example constructions from around the world, examining how these principles are applied in practice. This process culminates in the delegate understanding how these principles can be applied in their own work.

Introduction:
According to data from the United Nations (UN), around 68% of humanity will live in cities by 2050. These cities represent only 3% of the planet’s surface but consume 78% of energy and produce 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason, in 2016 the UN enhanced the New Urban Agenda to advise countries on their urbanization processes, aiming to make cities more habitable, inclusive, healthy, resilient, and sustainable.
The world will need an extensive build-up of urban infrastructure in the coming decades due to rapidly growing cities in emerging economies, as well as new family structures and aging populations in developed economies. To accommodate future space demands and limit global warming, we need to accelerate the shift toward a net-zero emissions, circular, healthy, inclusive, and resilient built environment.
